Here are the questions:
1) Have you a bought a C&R gun that was screwed up?
2) What was wrong?
3) Were you able to fix it?
Sunday was an adventure. Fixed three of my C&R guns with new parts and handiwork.
First, plastic upper section on H&R 999 main spring assembly broke into pieces from age fatigue. I replaced most of assembly with new parts from Numrich. Easy fix.
Second, Ortgies 32ACP pistol impossible to put back together after field stripping. The firing pin spring guide was boogered up (rough edges everywhere) and way too long (per subsequent research). New one I got from from Numrich was 0.010" too long, partly because head was too round. Some quick fine tuning with Riffler files and it was good to go.
Third, bad firing pin in Polish WZ48 22LR training rifle. Firing pin looks homemade and not to proper dimensions when compared to firing pin dimensions I found online. Made a new firing pin with 0.134" O1 round bar from McMaster. Had to carefully rough cut the features with a Dremel, followed by lots of filing with Riffler files and constantly stopping to measure with a caliper. Took three to four hours but it works great.
I wish every day went as well, considering I broke a toe on Saturday.
